I’m sure that is true on some (possibly most) Model As.

However, the previous owner warned me about upcoming brake squeal when I purchased the car a little over a year ago. He told me his work around was to spray (but not soak) a little WD-40 around the crack between the drum and the backing. That definitely works, but I’m not all that happy spraying WD-40 anywhere near the brakes.
